Thieves will steal for food

Two males were caught checking out vehicles in the parking lot in the 100 block of Mall Woods Drive at 4:33 p.m. when they noticed police following them.

They split, with one immediately caught who had a warrant for a probation violation referencing burglary.

The second suspect was apprehended as well, and a black bag was recovered that had been in a white truck. The truck owner said the bag was his, but it should have had a computer inside and not the narcotics and drug abuse instruments that were found.

One of the suspects said he left the computer in the Halloween store, on top of some orange paper plates. It was still there.

One of the suspects wanted a lawyer before he talked, while the other said he came to Miamisburg only to steal items so he could get something to eat.

They did get something to eat – at the Montgomery County Jail, charged with receiving stolen property and theft.
